This is where the arguments start. Because where it is one thing to argue if a top 32nd rank vehicle belongs in the number 25 slot, it is another to decide the top ten models of any brand, much less one with a 123-year history. Benna CDJR didn’t determine the top 10. As with all previous versions of this series, the selections were made by the Autoevolution website. So, here we go with the top 10 Dodges of all time. 10. 1970 Challenger Hemi Though Dodge was busy in the 60s putting high-powered engines in smaller vehicles, they did not have a pony car competitor until 1970, five years after the launch of the Mustang and Barracuda. Though its body looked much like the 3rd generation Barracuda with which it shared a platform, the Challenger had a two-inch longer wheelbase (110”) and was positioned against the upper end of the pony car class such as the Cougar and Firebird. An astounding eight engines were offered, including two “Slant-6”s: and six V-8s. The most coveted is the 425-hp 426 Hemi. It wasn’t so much the cost of the engine but the cost to insure a Challenger with it that resulted in only 356 out of 77,000 Challengers sold being equipped with the legendary engine in its initial year. The rarest? Hemi convertibles, only 9 of which were made. The fun lasted through 1971, after which the high-performance V-8s were discontinued. The Challenger itself was discontinued after 1974. 9. 1966 Charger Hemi Let's start by saying that no matter how it was powered, the 1966 Charger may well be the most attractive design to wear a Dodge badge. Preceded by the 1965 Charger II show car, the production model actually looked better with the extraordinarily clean front styling due to retractable headlights that created a full-width grille echoed by full-width tail lights in the rear. The show car’s dramatic fastback roofline resulted in an absurdly long rear overhang, which was sensibly curtailed in the production car. The dash featured four prominent gauge pods, and the center console extended through the back to create 2nd-row bucket seats. Those seats also folded down to extend the cargo space, an uncommon feature at the time for a non-station wagon. The car was really more of a luxury fastback than a full-on muscle car, except that five V8 engines were on offer, including the mighty 440 Magnum and the legendary 425-hp 426 Hemi, of which just 468 units were sold in the first year. 8. 2021 Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye The Challenger and Charger of this generation share a platform, so when Dodge made news by putting the 707-hp Hellcat engine in the Challenger, dropping it in the Charger also probably wasn’t all that…well…Challenging. However, creating a 707-hp 4-door sedan was completely audacious, which is familiar ground for Dodge. In 2021 they stoked the fires, further taking the Challenger’s Redeye engine and creating the 797-hp Charger Redeye, which has easily become the most powerful Charger in history. 0 to 60 is reached in just 3.5 seconds, the quarter mile takes just 10.6, and it has a top speed of 203 mph. If a faster Charger is ever made from the factory, it won’t be gasoline powered. 7. 2019 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Whatever the point was, Dodge had already proved it with the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, astounding the industry with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 707 hp. The previous most powerful Challenger was quite competitive, producing 470 horsepower, so the Hellcat was a bit of a bump. And it instantly became the most powerful muscle car of all time. Neither Ford nor GM countered, so Dodge could have stopped there. But a supercharger could get another 90 horses out of the 6.2 V-8 and a total of 707 lb-ft of torque, so they put it into production just to beat their own record. Its performance figures are very similar to the similarly-powered Charger with a 10.8-second quarter mile and 203 mph top speed. 6. 2004 Ram SRT-10 We used the term “audacious” previously, but maybe we should have saved the term for this model. Because while this series has mentioned other Dodge sport trucks like the Lil' Red Express, the Rumble Bee, the Daytona, and the Power Wagon, none of them match the Ram SRT-10, which had the Viper V-10 under its tall scooped hood. Unlike the supercharged Challenger and Charger engine just discussed, the 8.3-liter Viper V-10 was normally aspirated, so its 500 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque don’t quite have the same eye-raising ability as they did back in 2004, where there simply was nothing like the Ram SRT-10. Chevy never put a Corvette ZR-1 engine in a Silverado. The short-cab, short-bed truck hauled up to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and had a top speed of 154 mph. The truck was given a sport suspension, rear wing, and heavily bolstered front seats. Together with a quad-cab version that was also provided, the audacity lasted for three years, with 10,143 units sold. 5. 2020 Challenger SRT Super Stock By 2020, Dodge had managed to squeeze another 10 horsepower out of its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat Redeye V8 for a total of 807. Returning to its Super Stock efforts in the 60s, Dodge outfitted this as a drag-race special with lightweight wheels, drag radial tires, a shorter final-drive ratio, and a drag-spec suspension with adaptive dampers. This brought the performance numbers down to 3.25 seconds for 0 to 60 and a standing quarter mile of 10.5 seconds. 4. 1969 Charger Daytona Most Dodges have made these lists because of what’s under their hood and their focus on drag racing. This car is clearly best known for how it looks, and its purpose was purely aimed at NASCAR. In 1968, Dodge tried to rule NASCAR with the homologation Charger 500, which featured subtle aerodynamic changes. Appearance-wise, the 500 actually appeared tamer than the production car, and it still didn’t knock the slippery Ford Torino off the NASCAR pedestal. Getting serious, Dodge added the sloping nose and sky-high wing to the 1969 Charger and made 500 of them for the street to get it on the track. Most production models were powered by the 440 cubic inch magnum while just 70 had the 426 Hemi. It and the similar Plymouth Superbird were the first overtly aero-focused models in the series. Oddly, the height of the wing was not dictated by aerodynamics but rather so the trunk lid could be raised on the production model. Bobby Issac drove his Daytona to a season record that stands to this day with 19 pole positions and 17 wins. 3. 2018 Challenger SRT Demon One could argue that the Hellcat and all hyper Challengers that followed were drag-race specials, but the SRT Demon was even more so. Prior to the Supers Stock, the SRT Demon’s 6.2-liter V8 was topped with a 2.7-liter supercharger which produced 808 horsepower, or 840, with 100+ octane fuel. Drag-race-focused features included a trans brake, a Drag Mode suspension setup, and a liquid-to-air intercooler. It hit 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and went on to the quarter mile in 9.68 seconds. It was the fastest accelerating vehicle ever produced, and it only lasted one year, of which 3,300 units were produced. 2. 2010 Viper ACR-X A decade and a half prior to the Supercharged Hellcat, Redeye, and Demon Challengers, Dodge’s performance centered on the big displacement, normally aspirated Viper. The racing focus was not on the dragstrip but on sportscar and endurance racing, where you saw the Viper on the podiums of LeMans, Daytona, Spa, and others with over 100 major wins. By 2010, the Viper had been on the market for 20 years, was in its fourth generation, and looked to be ending its production. Which it did for three years before having another go for four years after 2013, The ACR-X was a production vehicle but for the track only. Free of street-legal restrictions, the 8.4-liter V10 produced an additional 40 horses for a total of 640 with torque up 45 foot-pounds to 605. It was fitted with a roll cage, fuel cell, a single racing seat with harness, and 18-inch front / 19-inch rear Michelin slicks. It weighed 160 pounds less than the street-legal ACR, while the rear wing, front dive planes, and other aerodynamic enhancements created 1100 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. It set no fewer than 13 lap records around the world and lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:03 minutes. 1. 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 Isn’t it nice that the number one greatest Dodge is one that is for sale right now? It’s Dodge’s final send-off to the nameplate that had four years in its original form and came back 34 years later for another 15. It is also the send-off for gas-powered muscle cars in general, with both the Challenger and Charger leaving after 2023 with to be replaced by various electric and electrified vehicles in the years to come. This last in a series of “Last Call” Challenger and Chargers has a feeling of inevitability as its horsepower finally breaks four figures. At least with E85 ethanol, where its supercharged V8 is rated at 1025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque. Fuel it with premium from your corner station, it will produce 900 hp. That gets you to 60 in a 2G body-pressing 1.66 seconds and will trip the quarter mile in an NHRA-certified 8.91 seconds. And yet it’s street legal. Perhaps, EV technology will open a whole new world of Dodge outrageousness, but for a company that has spent much of its R&D building absurdly overpowered vehicles and selling them to people, the 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the greatest Dodge ever sold.

Dodge again finished first in the 2023 annual J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) Study among mass-market (non-luxury) brands. This marks the fourth straight year Dodge has taken first place in the study. Dodge became the only brand to earn a first-place ranking for three consecutive years in 2022, and winning a fourth consecutive year strengthens that record. Just behind, Stellantis sibling Ram took second place, also for the fourth consecutive year. Doing things Right Year After Year The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Jailbreak models unlock color-combination ordering restrictions and adds new factory-custom options to deliver enthusiasts the freedom to build their own “one-of-one” Dodge performance vehicle. Bolstering the victory even further is that Dodge also took first place among mass-market brands in this year’s J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS). This makes Dodge the only domestic brand to achieve both top positions in the same year. Unlike the IQS study, which basically charts “things gone wrong”, the APEAL study surveys what people like and don’t like about their vehicles’ performance, design, and operation. Because their positions were switched four years ago, this marks the fifth consecutive year Dodge and Ram have taken the top two positions in the study. Dodge and Ram’s continual top-ranking positions show that people who purchased Dodge and Ram models really like their vehicles, mathematically better than any other non-luxury brand. “This outcome demonstrates that the pursuit of superior customer experience is firmly entrenched in our culture,” says Bill Kendell, who assumed leadership of Stellantis North America’s customer experience organization on July 1. “Our motto is, ‘Every Customer Counts; Every Journey Matters.’ “These are more than just words to us,” Kendell adds. “ At Stellantis, customer experience is a vocation. Now we have to take this data and really dive deep.” Bucking the Industry Trend Also noteworthy is that Dodge and Ram improved upon their 2022 APEAL scores by five and 10 points respectively, while scores for the industry as a whole declined. Unsurprisingly, each brand had a model that ranked high in their segment. The 2023 Dodge Challenger, the brand’s second best-selling model, ranked first in the Midsize Sporty segment. Ram’s 2023 best seller, the Ram 1500, ranks second among Large Light-Duty Pickups. " Dodge didn't win this award, we accepted it on behalf of the Brotherhood,” says Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand and Ram brand CEO - Stellantis. “ We have listened and learned from them. Those lessons will inform our product development as we redefine American muscle for the next era.” That next era comes soon. Dodge is saying goodbye to its Challenger and Charger muscle cars this year, but also recently launched the 2024 Hornet crossover, which claims the highest standard power in its class and includes a plug-in hybrid version - Dodge’s first. For its part, Ram will be launching two fully-electric vehicles in the form of the Ram Promaster electric van and the Ram 1500 REV full-size light-duty pickup. As mentioned, Dodge’s and Ram's customers are very happy with their purchases. If you would like to be one of those happy customers, pay a visit to Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and take a close look at the models from both brands.

Dodge entered the popular compact crossover segment this past year with the introduction of the 2023 Dodge Hornet.  2023 models arrived in the Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram inventory late in the 2023 model year.  In typical Dodge fashion, they brought to the segment its most powerful gas engine and a distinct performance focus to its overall design.  Now come the 2024 models, which add the Hornet R/T. This plug-in hybrid represents the first-ever electrified vehicle from Dodge and the most powerful model in the Hornet lineup. Bringing Performance to the Compact Crossover Segment The Hornet GT and GT Plus carry one with the Hurricane4 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 connected to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It is the segment’s most powerful gas engine producing 268 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. EPA-estimated city/highway/combined MPG is 21/29/24. For 2024, the Hornet lineup adds the R/T and R/T Plus plug-in hybrid models. The engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 connected to a 6-speed automatic that powers the front wheels. Powering the rear wheels is a 90-kW electric motor that receives its energy from a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Combined, the engine and motor produce 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft. of torque. The model provides an estimated 32 miles of electric-only range. So if your daily round-trip commute is within that distance, the Hornet R/T can be a daily electric vehicle.  After the electric range is depleted, there remains battery power to assist the engine.  The Hornet R/T is rated at 77 MPGe and has a total range of 360 miles. The “Head of Hive” 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T carries extra sting with a class-exclusive, on-demand PowerShot feature that supplies a 15-second burst of 30 horsepower, enabling a run from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, while the Dodge Hornet GT reaches 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds in Sport Mode. Hornet performance goes beyond mere acceleration. All models in the lineup feature standard Koni shocks and Brembo four-piston brake calipers. The models also include torque vectoring to assist in fast curves, and of course, all R/T models feature all-wheel drive. Activated by a steering wheel button, the Hornet GT features a Sport Mode, which increases throttle response, shifts at higher rpm, tightens steering wheel feel, and provides a stiffer suspension setting if equipped with Dual Stage Valve shocks.  The Hornet R/T offers Sport Mode and three hybrid driving modes: Hybrid, Electric, and E-Save Hybrid Mode: Provides maximum combined efficiency of the engine and motor, minimizing fuel consumption by setting electric priority until a minimum battery level is met Electric Mode: Offers an all-electric, zero-emission mode, and automatically switches to hybrid when the battery is depleted or when extra power is requested by driver pedal kick-down E-Save Mode: Gives priority to the conventional engine to preserve battery charge, possibly to save for city driving when all-electric propulsion is its most efficient.  The Passive option maintains the existing charge, while the Active option will recharge the battery as you drive. Sport Mode: Activated by a dedicated button on the center console, this produces sharper throttle response, higher shift points, access to the hybrid system’s optimized power and torque, as well as a tighter steering feel. The Hornet R/T also recharges the battery from regenerative braking and coasting from the throttle lift. The regenerative braking also reduces brake wear. Packaging All Hornets are equipped with a 12.3-inch Digital TFT Cluster, 10.25-inch center touchscreen and dual-zone automatic climate control wireless phone connectivity, and blind spot warning, among other features.  Also standard is Active Driving Assist which includes Distance Pacing Cruise Control, and lane centering. Besides the drivetrain, additional standard features on the R/T model include: Heated front seats 8-way power driver seat with 3-way memory Driver-side auto-dimming mirror Remote start system The R/T Plus adds: Full leather seating surfaces 8-way power passenger seat Ventilated front seats Sunroof Harmon Kardon sound system Hands-free power liftgate The GT Plus basically adds all of the additional R/T and R/T Plus features. Three packages are available on both Hornet R/T and GT: The Blacktop Package brings to life an automotive version of a “murder Hornet” with a blacked appearance including: 18-inch Abyss alloy wheels Gloss Black badging and mirror caps Gloss Black painted daylight opening (DLO) molding The Track Pack offers the most performance-oriented configuration with: 20-inch Abyss wheels Dual Stage Valve Suspension Alcantara sport seats Aluminum interior accents and pedals Red brake calipers The Tech Pack builds on the Active Driver Assist system by adding: Highway Assist Traffic Sign Recognition Intelligent Speed Assist Drowsy Driver Detection Front-park sensors ParkView 360 camera Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist The Hornet shows that as Dodge enters a new era of electrified and even EVs, Dodge's performance values remain steadfast.  It is obvious yet meaningful to call the Hornet the Dodge of compact crossovers. To see all of what that means, pay a visit to Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and experience the Hornet for yourself.

Every year from November through March, they put numerous new models through a rigorous test in New England's harsh winter weather. They then meet for a one-day testing and scoring event at NEMPA headquarters in Middleborough, Massachusetts, and announce their winners for the year. "The Grand Wagoneer topped our votes for NEMPA Winter SUV of the Year and overwhelmingly won its class,” said Clifford Atiyeh, president of the New England Motor Press Association. “ There is nothing more lavish, spacious, capable off-road, or plusher on the road than the Grand Wagoneer and its extended L model. The turbo inline-six and independent rear suspension make a large and capable SUV feel nimble and confident.” Jeep has an extended Wagoneer line that includes both the Wagoneer and longer wheelbase Wagoneer L, Grand Wagoneer, and Grand Wagoneer L.  Unlike the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, both Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models share their respective sizes as well as many mechanical components. The Grand Wagoneer models have a more powerful engine and land fully in the luxury vehicle category with their features and amenities. Grand Cherokee is Awarded Best Mid-size SUV Again As mentioned, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee was also declared New England’s best  Mid-size SUV.  This continues the Grand Cherokee's legacy as the most-awarded SUV in the industry. “The last-generation Grand Cherokee was a NEMPA favorite for many years,” said Atiyeh. “ The latest Grand Cherokee builds on the Jeep brand’s success with more luxury and space. That it’s priced competitively against premium German and Japanese SUVs while offering Jeep’s legendary four-wheel-drive capability—even as a plug-in hybrid—makes the Grand Cherokee a winner.” New England Opinions Matter There are multiple regional automotive journalist associations across the country, but NEMPA particularly resonates with the Jeep brand as it represents New England’s harsh winters and varied terrain, much like we find here in northern Wisconsin.  These, of course, are the very conditions Jeeps are designed to conquer. “We know from experience that New England winters can be the most extreme with snow and treacherous driving conditions,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “ To have the respected members of the New England Motor Press honor the Grand Wagoneer and the Grand Cherokee, and name the Grand Wagoneer the Official Winter SUV of the Year two years running, validates that our Jeep team continues to deliver the most capable SUVs both on-road, off-road and in the snow.” It is currently on the opposite side of winter as of this writing, but the season will return to Superior soon enough. If you want to see what has so impressed these Journalists for two years running, pay a visit to Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and take a close look at some of the most impressive SUVs on the planet from the brand that started it all.

For Benna CDJR’s fourth installment on the top 50 Dodge models of all time, we show the models that almost made it to the top ten and may well belong there, in your opinion. As before, the rankings were determined by Autoevolution. At this level, most of these models will be familiar to Dodge enthusiasts. 20. 1984 Caravan It may not light up the streets or adrenalin like Dodge’s muscle cars, but this could well be the most influential model Dodge ever produced. The design brief was to develop a vehicle that could seat up to eight people, provide car-like comfort, and fit in a standard-height garage. Originally based on the humble K-car platform, the Caravan, and its Plymouth Voyager twin introduced the modern Minivan concept to America and, in some ways, the Western world, as it beat the similar-in-concept Renault Espace by a few months. With the addition of a Chrysler version called Town & Country, the minivans sold over 14.6 million units worldwide. In the process, they created an entirely new genre and began the decline of the station wagon body style. 19. 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat By 2021, Dodge had decades of experience dropping absurdly overpowered drivetrains in moderately sized vehicles, and they weren’t about to let that fade with the popularity of SUVs. As Dodge’s only SUV at the time, the Durango was fitted with the Hellcat engine previously seen in the Challenger and Charger. It produced an insane 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful gas-powered SUV ever made. The engine hauled this hauler from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, which makes it the quickest 3-row SUV ever. The model was dropped in 2022 but returned for 2023. 18. 2004 Ram Rumble Bee The Rumble Bee name was derived from the Coronet-based Super Bee muscle car. Though also available in black, the Solar Yellow version was covered in enough day-glo yellow paint to be seen from space. Exclusively available with the regular cab and short bed, the Rumble Bee featured 20-inch wheels, lower body cladding, a bed cover, and of course, the black stripe (yellow on black trucks). The trusty 5.7-liter Hemi V8 sat under the hood scoop producing 345 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. Over 10,000 Rumble Bees were produced across two years. 17. 1970 Super Bee Hemi Speaking of the Super Bee, it first appeared in 1968 as the Dodge’s counterpart to the better-known Plymouth Roadrunner. Both featured a low-priced bare-bones version of the mid-size platform but with all the available high-performance hardware. Drivetrains included the 383 Magnum V8 and the 440 with the six-pack carburetor system. A grand total of 42 units were built with the 425 -horsepower 426 Hemi, making them the rarest Bees in the world. The 1970 model makes this list due to the very aggressive twin grill treatment, a version of which was picked up by the 1971 Charger. 16. 1970 Challenger T/A Late to the pony car party, Dodge immediately entered the Challenger into the SCCA Trans-Am series, which had become the competition home of Mustangs, Camaros, Barracudas, AMC Javelins, and Firebirds (which famously appropriated the series’ name). As with the Mustang 302, Dodge figured a small block was the best way to compete, so both the race car and required homologation production cars were fit with the 340 cu-in. V8 with the six-pack carburetor system, which produced 290 horsepower in the T/A. A heavy-duty suspension supported the car, and disc brakes were fitted in the front. A fiberglass hood was fitted as a weight-saving feature. The T/A was only in showrooms for the 1970 model year, with 2399 units finding buyers. 15. 2017 Viper GTS-R The GTS-R was the Viper’s swan song. Built for the Viper’s last year and commemorating the model’s competing in the GTS endurance racing class, the 100-unit $145,000 GTS-R, stayed as close to the racing vehicle as street legal requirements would allow. All were white with twin blue stripes and featured the massive rear wing, front corner winglets, a front air dam, and seven holes in the hood plus front fender vents. As always, the Viper was powered by a naturally aspirated V10, with this version displaying 8.4 liters and rated at 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. 14. 1968 Charger R/T Introduced two years earlier as a dramatically shaped mid-size fastback, Dodge changed things up for 1968. They kept and improved upon the simple but aggressive body-wide grille that concealed quad headlamps. But behind was a less dramatic but arguably better-proportioned coupe body with coke-bottle curves for the lower “fuselage” body. This is the Charger everyone remembers. R/T stood for Road/Track, though Dodge played with the term “Rapid Transit” in their marketing. Under the T/A’s low flat hood was a standard 375 hp 440 cu-in Magnum V8 with the 425 hp 426 Hemi as an available option. The Charger R/T lasted until 1971, when it had a major design change. The 426 Hemi disappeared, but the 440 remained, though was detuned to 280 hp because…70s. 13. 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat It was a disappointment to many Dodge fans when the 2006 Charger returned as a 4-door sedan. But it was rear-drive and full-sized in a world of front-drive mid-size sedans and even built from the bones of the previous Mercedes-Benz E-Class, so it was still rather special. A redesign for 2011 upped the aggression, but it was the facelift for 2015 that really hit the mark. Not only did the front’s low profile grille with integrated headlights do justice to the original, but with the SRT Hellcat, it was blatantly overpowered to an extent the original Charger could only dream of. Its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 produced a supercar-level 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Supercar performance figures followed, including 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds and having a 207 mph top speed. It was the fastest production 4-door sedan to be had anywhere and remained so until Dodge added “Redeye” to the name in 2021. 12. 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat Built on the Charger and Chrysler 300 platform, the revived Challenger had something of a disadvantage against the smaller, similarly revived Camaro and contemporary Mustang. Dodge responded by supercharging its biggest Hemi V8, christening it the Hellcat, and putting it in both the Challenger and the above-mentioned Charger. With the same 707 horsepower and torque as the Charger, the Challenger was curiously slower than the Charger with a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds. Nevertheless, the power was way beyond anything in the Camaro and Mustang stables, including the Shelby GT500. Dodge has since made even more powerful Challengers, but it was the SRT Hellcat that took that first giant leap. 11. 1998 Viper GT2 Championship Edition Inspired by the GTS-R that took a class win in the 1997 FIA GT Championship, the limited-edition 1998 GT2 started what the 2017 GTS-R finished. Like the latter, it had a front air dam, front corner winglets, lower side sills, and a strut-supported rear wing, but all were more subtle and better integrated into the overall design. In this form, the 8.0-liter V10 produced 460 horsepower, which was a slight bump over the rest of the model line and over a hundred horses over the contemporary Corvette. Like the GTS-R, production was limited to 100 units making it a sought-after collectible today.

Every single model year, the Wrangler remains a clear fan favorite. With legendary off-road capability, state-of-the-art technology, and unparalleled versatility, there is nothing in the world quite like a Jeep Wrangler. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that so many of our loyal customers have been asking about the 2024 Jeep Wrangler pricing information. As always, our team at Benna CDJR has everything you need to know, so keep on reading below! Read more: Stellantis Vehicles, Collect Multiple Awards at 2023 TAWA Auto Roundup How Much Does the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Cost? Now, let’s get right down to it. How much does the 2024 Jeep Wrangler cost? Of course, the answer depends on which model you choose. For the 2024 production year, the Jeep Wrangler is available in three configurations: 2-door, 4-door, and 4xe (the plug-in hybrid model). What’s more, there are four different engines to choose from: a 2.0-liter turbocharged PHEV 4xe with 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque; a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine that generates up to 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque; a 3.6-liter V-6 that serves up 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque; and, last but not least, a top-of-the-line 6.4-liter V-8 behemoth with power ratings of up to 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. 2024 Jeep Wrangler Trim Levels Furthermore, all of these Wrangler customizations can be found across the following trim levels: Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara, High Altitude, Rubicon, Rubicon X and Rubicon 392. Please note, however, that only half of the trim grades come with all three configurations of the 2024 Wrangler. The other half of the lineup, on the other hand, is only able to offer one or two of them. For more information on which configurations are available on which trim levels, as well as all of their respective starting U.S. manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRPs), take a moment to explore our detailed outline below. Starting MSRPs for Each 2024 Wrangler Model So, without further ado, here are the starting MSRPs for each 2024 Jeep Wrangler model (excluding the $1,795 destination fee). On the base Sport trim, the 2-Door starts at $31,895 while the 4-Door configuration begins at $35,895. The next trim level, Sport S, looks like this: $35,395 for the 2-Door, $39,395 for the 4-Door, and $49,995 for the 4xe. Then, when Willys enters the conversation, it steps things up as follows: $39,395 for the 2-Door, $43,395 for the 4-Door, and $54,735 for the 4xe. Sahara, however, skips the 2-Door, as it only offers either a $47,825 4-Door model or a $56,845 4xe. Then, to begin the second half of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler lineup, the High Altitude is only available as a 4xe for $66,995. Luckily, the Rubicon returns with all three configurations available; starting at $45,395 for the 2-Door, $49,395 for the 4-Door, and $60,585 for the 4xe. Next, while the Rubicon X is the penultimate trim grade, it is, nonetheless, the final one with all three configurations of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. In exchange, it asks for $54,895 for the 2-Door, $58,895 for the 4-Door, and $69,085 for the 4xe. Last but certainly not least, residing at the top of this year’s lineup, one will find a lone Rubicon 392 4-Door with a starting MSRP of $87,595.

Through both design and soundproofing materials, considerable attention has gone into models under the Stellantis brand to keep road, wind, and other unwanted noise out of the cabin. In addition, models have been equipped with sound systems to play your favorite tunes from base systems, scaling all the way up to the incredible McIntosh audio system in the Jeep Grand Cherokee model line. The challenge is that there are some sounds from outside that you are meant to hear. The whole point of emergency vehicle sirens is to alert others on the road of their presence. EVAS Gets the message Through to You Stellantis’ solution to this paradox is the Emergency Vehicle Alert System (EVAS) which uses Uconnect to alert drivers when emergency vehicles or roadway hazards are nearby. EVAS has been a standard feature of Uconnect on all models since the 2018 model year and thus is already on 1.8 million Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep ® brand vehicles in the United States and Canada. In other words, any new car Benna CDJR has sold for the past five years. EVAS works by integrating with the HAAS Alert Safety Cloud, the nation’s largest vehicle-to-everything (V2X) platform for digital alerting. How it works is that emergency vehicles, as well as tow trucks and work zones, send a V2X signal into the Safety Cloud, which then sends it to any vehicle that can receive it, to notify its driver of their presence. That alert cuts through the vehicle’s soundproofing and pauses the audio system with an audio beep accompanied by an explanation on the infotainment display. The system can often inform you if the emergency vehicle is ahead or behind you. “The widespread deployment of EVAS in North America demonstrates how Stellantis is harnessing the power of V2X connectivity and in-vehicle technology to make mobility safer for our customers,” said Yves Bonnefont, Stellantis chief software officer. “ Care for our customers that is second to none in every market where we sell is the foundation of our transformation to a mobility tech company. We’re proud to be the first global automaker to make V2X digital alerting a standard safety feature for our connected customers, and we are continuously looking to expand its capabilities.” HELP is on the Way The next step in the process will be what is known as Hazard Enhanced Location Protocol (HELP) in which a disabled vehicle can send a notice of its location to the HASS Alert Safety Cloud, which transmits a notice to vehicles in the same manner as EVAS. This will give drivers about 15-20 seconds of advance warning of the disabled vehicle’s location, which is roughly a quarter mile at highway speeds. Just consider how useful this can be in a heavy storm or thick fog when vehicles may have had an incident but, even with hazard lights, may not be visible until they are very and possibly too close. HELP can be activated manually by the driver when the vehicle is stationary or automatically in safety-critical situations, such as collisions or tire blowouts. It is possible it could be activated automatically when the hazard lights are activated. “Technology we offer today helps set the stage for future vehicle innovations,” said Mamatha Chamarthi, Stellantis head of global software business management. “It begins with the foundation that safety should come standard. It grows from there to offer owners convenience features on demand when they connect, enroll and subscribe. These software capabilities result in an enhanced and highly valued customer experience with our iconic brands.” As mentioned, EVAS has been on Stellantis vehicles since the 2018 model year, and many owners may not have been aware of it until they received their first alert and then wondered how that alert happened. HELP has not been fully developed as of yet, but look for it on future models from Benna CDJR.
